In Windows XP I could create a list of files that had been updated on a

In Windows 8 this function does not seem to be available. I can look at
the files updated on a date, but then have to do the same operation for
every file on the drive.

I can do it in a DOS Batch file but looking for something more convenient

Can Windows 8/8.1 do the same thing that Windows XP does?

This is a very useful functions when trying to locate the data files of
a new program, of finding the file you absent mindedly saved but did not
note the location.

Thanks That is more than I was getting the other day when I was trying
to use it.

However it still is getting only some directories. When I tried it from
the c:/ all I got was the system files, not the files in My Documents.
